    Food was incredible, the biscuits are a must have ! We also got the wings, brisket Mac and cheese, green salad, and the beignets. Everything was excellent. I highly recommend the heatwave for a drink if you like a little spice , very good.

    When we called to move up our reservation due to the weather, they did not hesitate to look for an alternative time. Our waitress was so nice and helpful when we had questions! Highly recommend the tuna tartare as well as the salmon!

    Great time! Had to ask for corn bread twice but finally got it! Fish chowder and mashed potatoes were not hot, rather luke warm to cold. But delicious nonetheless. Third visit and we will be back since we live local.

    Once again, a lovely experience! Having not been to 75 Chestnut for some years, I was delighted to see that it was still as inviting as always. The service was attentive and the food delicious - the menu has both classics and newer offerings, with something for everyone. We were not rushed, which was nice since we ended up spending 2+ hours there! Price points are competitive and you really cannot go wrong here, particularly when looking for a cozy spot on a winter's night, with a beautiful neighborhood right outside the door.
